  Patricia writes on being an Expat:"... As the years went by, I also realized that the feeling of being foreign and other, transcends even race. You are not part of their (French) culture. It doesn't matter who you are or of what origin you are. You're either French (in your head and behavior), or not. When I began to see that, I began to identify myself as an expat. The sum of being an American who lives in Paris, an African-American trying to find roots here, minus not being French - but seeing life internationally - on a large scale and permanently, equals my personal experience of being an expat."

"Continuing To Feel Your Best: Using Chinese Medicine Techniques " Some Simple Tips. Auto-Massage Workshop Saturday 10 November. Complete Information below.

I had talked with Earl Ferguson about Chinese Traditional Medicine and ways to apply it to my daily life. He showed me some simple techniques that, right away, increased my energy and, IMPORTANTLY, relieved stress and anxiety. After attending the first workshop and regularly practicing the exercises that he taught me, I continued to experience an increased sense of well-being.. Earl will again briefly share some information (and techniques) and the philosophy behind them, in a simple way, that will help us all to work towards feeling better and enjoying life more. In order to really learn the techniques well, it requires working with Earl or attending the workshops.

Earl Ferguson, an Afro-American from New York City, has been a gymnastics and motion fitness coach for more than 27 years. He has lived in Paris for 25 years and has been featured in such publications as VSD, Vital, Karaté, Paris Match and Liaison Social. In so doing, we develop and foster our capacity to become more receptive to the life surrounding us. Earl is an avid student of Chinese Traditional Medicine.
